a cooler contains 17 soda cans, 26 water bottles, and 7 juice boxes. find the theoretical probability of pulling out a juice box. p(jb) = ? round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of items

$17 + 26+7=50$

Step2: Calculate probability of pulling a juice - box

The number of juice - boxes is 7. The probability formula is $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. So $P(JB)=\frac{7}{50}= 0.14$

Answer:

$0.14$
